Arsenal have agreed a deal with Lyon to sign England international striker Nikita Parris.

Parris has agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is already back in England to undergo a medical in the next few days.

She would be making a return to England two years after leaving Manchester City for Lyon, where she won a league, cup and Women’s Champions League treble in her first season.

The striker is said to be “excited about a potential return to play in the WSL after a successful period in France with Lyon”.

She scored 13 goals in 20 appearances this term for Lyon but missed out on the Ligue 1 title on the final day to Paris Saint-Germain, who also knocked them out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.

Parris was named in Team GB’s team to take part in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics tournament by caretaker boss Hege Riise.
